Government Shutdown Family In Need

Hi, I dont even know where to start. My Mom is a Federal Worker and a Mom of 3. She have been out of work due to the Government Shutdown. Shes not the type to ask for any hand outs so shes listed her Personal items for sale on Craigslist, Mercari and Ect. Shes even attempted to drive for Lyft. She made $30 in 3 hours. I'm assuming that the Shutdown has effected Lyft in the DC Region. Out of desperation. Shes been applying for jobs everyday. She can no longer wait around for them to open the Government up. 

Im doing this GofundMe instead of my Mom due to Ethics Violations. If Government Employees accept help they can be fired.  I understand that everyone have some type of issues and bills so that's why I feel so bad asking for help. I'm grateful for anything even a dollar. I really appreciate you taking the time to read about our situation. If you would like to help and are able to do so, any donations are very much appreciated.  Thank you so very much.
